One of the officers is reportedly hospitalized with life-threatening injuries after taking a gunshot wound to the chest. The other officer was hit in a shoulder but was expected to be OK, reported Andrew Lumia of FOX 5 San Diego.

Both officers are both male, with three and 18 years of experience. Their names have not been released.

After a standoff of about two hours, the suspect was pronounced dead just before 1 a.m. Sunday local time, after police sent in a robot and a police dog to check the apartment, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

A camera attached to the robot spotted the suspect lying on the floor with apparent head trauma. Authorites then sent in the dog, which bit the suspect on a leg but received no response.

It was unclear if the suspect had been shot in the head by police, or if the wound was self-inflicted, FOX 5's Lumia reported.

Police later conducted welfare checks of nearby apartment units before giving an all clear.

The situation drew multiple police vehicles to the Rolando-area apartment complex where the gunman, reportedly in his 30s, barricaded himself inside, the Union-Tribune reported.

Authorities blocked off surrounding streets and evacuated tenants.

Around 11:20 p.m., a SWAT team had taken a suspect into custody, but it was later confirmed that the suspect was not the shooter.
